Faith Fiore has never had the best of luck with relationships. Perhaps her nickname ‘Filterless Faith’ has something to do with it. Known as the town weirdo, she goes about her life pretending her loneliness doesn’t matter, all the while longing for a deep, abiding love.
All that matters to loner Rand Crandall is his accounting firm. Circumstances in his past have proved he’s unlovable, and he has no time, nor inclination, for relationships of any kind. But his hard-core professionalism is tested when Filterless Faith Fiore walks into his office and sparks his desire along with his interest.
